THIS spring and autumn visitant to England breeds in 

 the north of Scotland. 



The nest is a small hollow, concealed in heath or 

 herbage ; it is slight, and lined with grass or leaves. 



The eggs, of a pear shape as in the kindred species, 

 are four in number, of a very pale stone colour, sprinkled 

 all over with irregular spots of dark brown and blots of 

 light purple grey, with fewest of either on the smaller end.
